Lincoin's Spelling Decision.

~ was one of the senator's said a ven
cradle republican statesman the other
day, "whO favored the reelection of Pres
ident Lincoln when that was a debatable
question. / remember that one Of the
points they made against Lincoln was
that he had appointed IAN ignoramus'
commissioner of agriculture. That gen
tleman's name, you may remember, was
Isaac Newton, and I think he was from
Philadelphia. The graveness of the
charge brought against him was that he
could not spell.
"The opposition had got hold, in some
way, one of the notebooks, in which.
among other ludicruous mistakes, was the
word sugar spelled 'shooggur.' Armed
with This notebook a committee of SEN
ators waited on President Lincoln, and
demanded the removal of Newton.
Whether he was removed or not, they
we're going TO spring this Newtonian
spelling on the world at the first conven-
lent opportunity. But they thought it
only fair to give the president a chance
to remove him first. SO up to the White
House they went.

chairman, distinguished N aw England
senator, what had occurred. Well, sir, ;

ton. Would you believe it, when | showed
him that wretched spelling OF the word
sugar he said: well, I'm not sure but

nor there. | didn't apDoint Newton and
therefore can't remove him. Mrs. Lincoln

of removal in his case. You may go to

as he continues to send her fresh butter

There is a society of women in New
York known as the Kings Daughters
which despite its royal title, is purely
democratic in organization. 1t was be.
gun by ten women who felt desire to dc
some organized religious work and OBJ
jected to the trammels of big, unwield y
society. So these ten met at the house
of Mrs. Bottome, at No. Is Washington
place, last January, made her president
of the little band of pious princesses
and proceeded to adopt a motto, a
watchward and q badge, consisting of a
tiny silver Maltese cross suspended to a
bit of royal purple ribbon. Not year
has passed since then, but already the
society has grown very large; not added
to the original group, but organized in
other branches of ten each; and the
strange sight is seen sometimes of g
woman at the counter of shop, seeing
the purple ribbon on the breasts of the
woman who serves her, extending her
hand cordially and saying; 81 also am the
daughter of the King" The original ten
have formed the nucleus of general
society, and are known as the Central
Ten. To them perplexine matters are
referred, but the organization is very ell
astic, and each little group carries on
its own self,chosen work in its
own way. One of tie tens decided to Wis
it the sick children in the hospitals, and
chose that as their work. A number of
them, various tens taking its turn, visit
the Hahnemann hospital and regularly
assist in the institution, also bringing
dolls, picture books, and toys for the
little ones. One branch calls itself the
Shut-in Ten, consisting of invalids who
have been confined TO the house for
yrars; another ten devote themselves to
these inyalids and endeavor to bring
light and Joy into their lives, correspond
ing with them, visiting them, reading to
them, and teaching them all sorts of fan
cy work to beguile their tedious lives.
Girls prominent in society have Joined
themselves to the Kings Daughters, find

Girls Should Be Useful.
Harrisburg Indedendent.

There is a large class of Americans
people of opulence, men of acquired or
inherited wealth-who do not hesitate to
inculcate the belief among their children,
and especially their daughters that it is
useless and unnecessary for them to learn
to do anything in connection with do
nestle manual labor. 1t is no uncommon
expression in the higher circles of society
for ladies to declare:
"My husband" or my father is rich;
why then should demean myself by man
ual labor?p
In such society it is deemed vulgar for
a lady to know how to do useful thing
in connection with housekeeping. Par
ents in this case rear their daughters
not to learn to do the useful, and many
mothers whose husbands are under hard
strain every day in the year to find the
wherewithal to keep up appearances, i'm
press their daughters with the idea that
labor is degrading, and that hand which
shows any sign of manual labor will not
be sought in marriage by gentleman.
We confess we do not know how true this
is. If 1t is correct, then indeed it is the
evidence of a lack of.manhcod; and if it is
not true, it is wicked libel on the char
acter of an American gentleman,
Girls who won't lear to do useful things
at home because their fathers are rich
lose opportunities to lit themselves to
meet the exigencies and the accidents
of life. 1t has always been custom for
the princes of Germany to learn trades.
The Bourbon princes of France all &C
quired trades. Some of them were
printers, bookbinders, shipwrights, house
carpenters, joiners, and painters, they did
not follow these vacations bat they under
stood them.
Royal and princely ladies in Germany
and France understood every function of
housekeeping and knew how to perform
it. They can go to the dairy and stable
and handle milk or a COW and a horse
with dexterity and satisfaction.
The Prince of Wales is a bookbinder
Each of his brothers has a trade, and his
sons are new learning trades according
to their tastes. all the ladies of the
English royal household are accomplish
ed in practical things-they know how to
do useful things even if they are called
upon to perform them.
The mawkishness or sentimentality
which encourages girls not TO learn to do
useful, practical and strengthening labor
is a bebasement of the noble3t impulses
of nature. When such an incubation is
encouraged it tends to deprive girls es-
pecially from developing their mental
and physical forces, to enervate them
and impair functions which, if properly
trained might develop the good and
grand in their character. Work properly
per formed is a recuperator, not an ex-
hauster, of mental and physical powers.
knowledge is power, IS an axiom as truth.
To know how to do the useful is an &C.
complishment of which any girl can
be proud, and especially an American
girl.
